"Professor Jones, This is outstanding information. I'm glad I was able to find you again for your assistance. I have 5 more weeks left in this class. (One question a week for five weeks), then I take the final exam. Are you open to another question on Saturday or Sunday? Also, how am I doing with your credits? I really want to make sure I am giving you the appropriate amount of credits for the answer you provide me. I would prefer that you give me as much detail to a question as possible and allow me to scale it back where needed. So please, tell me if I am not giving you enough credits. Thanks again. Please let me know if you can take on a question a week for the few weeks. Then we'll call it quits. JIM"
